Hi DoctorClu,

Quote
I would like to run a BBS


BBS   :-o

You mean web site don't you?   :roll:

I mean noone uses BBSs anymore because they are too slow and are boring text-based stuff on dial-up phone lines.  Get out of the '80s dude.   :-)

Amiga BBS  :roflmao:

Why not just put up your own "Amiga Org" up on the web?  You can use the same software that Amiga Org is using and you can get it for FREE.  I downloaded the software and will be paying my registration fee.  I am considering starting my own "Amiga Org" type of site, only mine will be much better.  It is not that hard to do, the software does most of the work for you.  You just have to pay for web site hosting and put up your very own site.  You can make it better then Amiga Org or Amiga World.  Try it.  I think that you will like it better then setting up a BBS.  Besides, Amiga Org and Amiga World need the competition.   :-D

Here is the link for the software and web hosting:

Enjoy   :-)

Hi Argo,

There are plenty of telnet BBS'.


Does telnet BBS mean BBSs that are on the internet?  Cause I was thinking of "old-school" BBSs, that not many people do those anymore.

You can call your Internet BBS a "portal" too, no big deal.   :lol:
